Blurb:-Mrs Plansky's Revenge is bestselling author Spencer Quinn's first novel in a new series since the meteoric launch of Chat and Berrie-introducing the irresistible and unforgettable Mrs. Plansky, in a story perfect for book clubs and commercial fiction readers.
Mrs. Loretta Plansky, a widow in her seventies, is settling into retirement in Florida while dealing with her 98-year-old father and fielding requests for money from her beloved children and grandchildren. Thankfully, her new hip hasn't changed her killer tennis game one bit.
One night Mrs. Plansky is startled awake by a phone call from a voice claiming to be her grandson Will, who needs ten thousand dollars to get out of a jam.
By morning, Mrs. Plansky has lost everything. Law enforcement announces that Loretta's life savings have vanished, and that it's hopeless to find the scammers behind the heist. First humiliated, then furious, Loretta Plansky refuses to be just another victim.
In a courageous bid for justice, Mrs. Plansky follows her only clue on a whirlwind adventure to a small village in Romania to get her money and her dignity back-and perhaps find a new lease on life, too.

My Review:-Mrs Loretta Plansky is a senior citizen who's just had a new hip but also has lost all her money through a scam. After the FBI tells her she's not going to get her money back, she decides to do something about it herself. She buys a ticket to Romania as that is the place the FBI told her, her money had went to Alba Gemina, Romania. In Alba Gemina, Dinu and Romeo his friend are working for Uncle Dragomir a criminal and Dinu's Uncle. Uncle Dragomir is rich, he has a casino, a restaurant, and a hotel, through the money he scams off people. But don't think it's that simple as you will find out in the story
I've never read any of Spencer Quinn's books but after reading this book I'm on the hunt for more books by Spencer.
